Marine Paint

Marine paint protects boats, yachts, sailboats, powerboats, and commercial vessels in harsh conditions. Quality boat paint resists saltwater and freshwater, UV, chemicals, and abrasion, preventing corrosion, osmosis blisters, and marine growth. A properly coated hull and topsides look sharp, run smoother, and may cut fuel use. The result is better performance, easier cleaning, and longer service life at the dock, on the trailer, or offshore.

• Antifouling bottom paint: ablative, hard, and hybrid formulas—copper-based or copper-free—to fight barnacles and slime, maintain hull speed, and extend time between haul-outs.
• Topside and deck paint: high-gloss polyurethane and enamel systems for color and UV retention; non-skid deck coatings with grit additives for safe footing.
• Primers and barrier coats: epoxy primers and moisture barriers for fiberglass, plus corrosion control for aluminum and steel hulls.
• Bilge and locker paint: tough, solvent- and fuel-resistant finishes for easy cleanup in wet spaces.
• Specialty coatings: waterline and boot stripe enamels, non-skid additives, prop and running gear coatings, and aluminum-safe bottom paints for outboards and pontoon boats.

Choose marine coatings by substrate (fiberglass, aluminum, steel, or wood), compatibility with existing paint, fouling pressure in your waters, and how the boat is used—moored full-time or trailered. Consider local regulations and low-VOC, copper-free options. Check coverage rates, dry and recoat times, launch windows, and temperature and humidity limits to plan the job right.

Preparation drives results: de-wax, degrease, sand, fair, and wipe clean before priming and painting. Apply with roller and brush “roll and tip,” or spray where permitted. Follow film thickness guidance, mix thoroughly, and use the correct thinner. Wear PPE and ensure ventilation. Respect cure schedules for strong adhesion and blister protection.

Inspect coatings seasonally, scrub growth promptly, touch up scrapes, and track recoat intervals. Store cans sealed and stirred for the next project. Keep records of products and dates.
